The Last Of the Dragon Witches (Prinxiety)

6

Virgil nodded, making the fatherly looking guy squeal in joy as he jumped towards Nyx who just started wagging her tail bit and nuzzled her head in the guy's chest, making him giggle in daylight.

The other three men just watched the scene for a few seconds, not really knowing how to act or what to do, before Logan shook his head, waking up from the trance, and directed his gaze towards Roman.

"Sir, we have to return to the palace, you're not safe here." He said, his voice serious and monotonous as he shot a quick look towards the dragon-witch whose eyes were jumping to one guy to the other.

"Logan, I've already told a million times to just call me Roman, sir makes me feel like an old man. But I do agree with you." He nodded crossing his arms on his chest.

There was silence for a few seconds before Virgil sighed taking a step forward.

"Then allow me to escort you to your destination. It's too dangerous for you to go alone." He offered, his eyes fixed in Roman's.

"What? No, absolutely not. Forget it."

Immediately the Dragon-Witch's gaze moved from the prince to Logan, his eyebrow raised.

"Aw, why not Logie? He seems really nice plus Nyx is a total sweetheart!" Patton exclaimed making the dragon purr happily before immediately growling when she heard the princely guy murmur a not so quiet "Speak for yourself." Under his breath.

"I don't trust him. And if we managed just fine without him on our way here, I'm sure will be just fine without him as we get back."

Virgil scoffed, immediately earning a glare from the smart looking guy.

"Just fine? Dude you have skilled killers looking for you and are in a zone of the forest you've never seen before in your whole life probably and think you'll be 'just fine' only because you were able to find us without getting injured? I'm sorry to break it to you, but you guys were just lucky."

Logan took a step towards him, his eyes dark making Nyx growl warningly as Patton tried to shush them.

"No we weren't. We know how to get back and if anything happens, Roman is armed and and I know how to fight."

Virgil took a step forward, standing his ground, a mocking smirk on his lips.

"And you really think you're going to be able to defend yourself against a guy who took on a whole team of skilled, armed and trained soldiers, and won might I add, with a sword and some punches?" He scoffed, "Give me a break, they would kill you within seconds."

Logan stayed still, a flash of realization shining in his eyes for a second, before turning back to cold.

"And what use would you be, uh?"

The dragon-witch just raised an eyebrow, as asking if the guy was seriously asking him that.

"Well for starters I've spent my whole life in this wood and therefor know them as the back of my hand. Second of all, I know how to cast spell and fight using both a sword and my body. And last but not least," he pointed behind him, towards Nyx, "I have a huge dragon able to breath fire as my best friend. I think it's safe to say that I could help."

There were a few moments of tense silence as the two guys had a stare off, Roman and Patton just anxiously watching the two.

"Fine." Logan gave up with a frustrated sigh. "You will escort us."

Before a small victorious smile could spread on Virgil's lips though, he quickly held up the obsidian knife he was holding in his hand, pointing it right at the guy's throat and making Nyx growl viciously and the other two guys let out a gasp. Everyone forgot he still had it.

"But just know that if you make one wrong move, you're dead." He threatened though gritted teeth.

Virgil nodded, knowing he was not in the position of making any sarcastic remark, sighing when he saw the guy going back to his composed posture and putting the knife in the waistband of his pants.

Roman exhaled loudly, drawing everyone attention as he took a step forward, clapping his hands before putting them on his sides as he looked at every single one of us.

"So, what's the plan? What do we do now?" He asked, excitement shining in his eyes.

"Well," Virgil started, elongating the 'L' a bit as an amused smirk started to make an appearance on his face, "That depends on how fast you wanna get back to the castle."

The other three all shot him a confused glance, before finally someone broke the silence.

"What do you mean kiddo?" Patton asked, immediately making the other two look at him for answers.

"Yeah, the faster we get there the better. The subjects are going crazy without knowing if their prince is alive." Logan added slightly gesturing with his hands.

The dragon-witch brought a hand under his chin, his violet eyes dancing between the three eager to see their reaction to the words he was about to speak.

"Well, if that's what you want then the most efficient course of action is to let Nyx carry us all there." He said, making all of them freeze and Nyx growl disapprovingly.

"Uh-uh, there is no way in hell I'm riding that evil creature absolutely not." Roman said immediately, his voice loud and dramatic and his head shaking as he took a step back.

"I must admit that although that is the fastest way to get there, it also is way too dangerous. After all it is still an animal and therefore can not understand us." Added Logan.

"Excuse me? I am no animal, and if you ever do get to ride me, I'll be sure to drop both of your asses mid-air." Nyx growled through the mind link, making her owner chuckle.

"She does not like to be called an animal and can very much understand us. But after what you just said I'm not really sure you should ride her." He said, still smiling.

"Virgil's right, you don't deserve to ride her! She's so sweet and you guys just keep insulting her and treating her badly!" Patton exclaimed as he gently scratched behind her ears making her purr happily.

"I'll say it once and i'll say it again. I like him the most out of the three, let's adopt him and leave the other two here to die."

Virgil chuckled, shaking his head as he watched his dragon lick the cheery guy's face making him giggle in daylight.

"Sweet?! She just tasted you, she probably just wants to eat you when you less expect her too!" Princey exclaimed dramatically, making Nyx growl and roll her eyes and Patton frown at him as he leaned forward and gently slapped him behind the head.

The dragon-witch immediately felt a wave of anger and protectiveness rise up from his stomach, urging him to push Patton away from Roman so that he could protect him from any possible harm.

He swallowed the feeling as he listened to the fatherly guy talk about how Nyx was just thanking him for standing up for her and was not actually tasting him, but he really couldn't focus on that.
